1: Chris DooksTitle: Gwiazdozbiór AndromedySynopsis: Using elements of a broken piano in my house, I invited Polish
speaker Marta Adamowich to read me a list of key constellations in Polish. I am
looking for ways through sound to introduce folk to astronomy and the nightsky
and find the Polish language and her voice in particular quite gripping, so I
edited it together very sparsely. I also felt it was a positive work of immigration,
when the stars know no borders.Duration: 4 minutesBiography: Chris Dooks is a new media artist and doctoral researcher at The
